How to read Excel cell having null values too in Java...?

I've finally got what I want. I thank mezmo for it. I want to share the exact code snippet to be changed. Just replace the line having :

HSSFCell cell = row.getCell(c);

with

HSSFCell cell=row.getCell(c, org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row.CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK );

Well, you could check for null before your switch statement, or you could change which call to row.getCell you make. Checking the Javadoc for POI there are 2 forms, the first is what you are using, the second has an additional parameter, of the type Row.MissingCellPolicy, where you can pass a value that would automagically transform null cells into blanks.

You need to check if cell!=null, because if a cell doesn't exist in a row, row.getCell(c) returns null
